Double to cell conversion.

I'm trying to store a string of characters in my [data_accuracy] variable (instead of storing for example 0 or 1) based on a conditional if statement. cellstr and num2str or { } based approaches have not worked and continue to give me the error: Conversion to cell from double not possible. Any suggestions? Thanks!

       Example: 
          if data(i,1) == 1;
             data_accuracy(i,1) = 'hit';
          elseif data(i,1) == 2;
             data_accuracy(i,1) = 'miss';
          end

This approach is not a very efficient way to code an algorithm. Why do you want to have strings instead of numbers?

Answer 1

pool = {'hit', 'miss'};
data_accuracy = pool(data(:,1));

Answer 2

%use {} instead ()

           data=randi(3,10,1) %example
           for k=1:size(data,1)
             if data(k,1)==1
               data_accuracy{k,1} = 'hit';
             elseif data(k,1) == 2;
               data_accuracy{k,1} = 'miss';
             end
           end

Answer 3

data = (rand(10,1)>0.5)+1
c = cellstr(repmat('hit',size(data)))
c(data==2) = {'miss'}

Please try the following instead:

   isAccurate = ( data(:,1) == 1 );

HTH.
